Scouting Iowa

We have missed so many easy up close shoots.  Could be ahead easily. 

 

Will be a barn burner  in the 2nd half

I would think we need more inside game to open up the treys.  (i.e. if treys fall we are good; if they don't we are aways playing catch-up and HAVE to make treys.)

But if we hit some trey's it would open up driving lanes.

[Red Don]

We're in a . IA leads 37-34 @ the Half;

It's fine; if we hit 'Em.  But if we don't we are in a position of having to make 'Em (when they haven't been falling before) to catch-up.  Pick your poison, I guess.

Iowa seems to have a better inside game than we do (maybe Gustafson is the difference).

Stats at the end of 3:

 

[Red Don]

Good Nicea to Veerbeek assist for 2.

 

We need a Run!

Where is Whitish and Kissinger?

[Red Don]

Iowa Wins: 77-71

Good Game Ladies, hanging with Iowa. You showed a lot of GRIT; NO QUIT to end the game We are really going to be a dangerous team next year (or at the end of this year). We'll get another chance; this time on Our Court!

(Doyle is a hot-head; Some may disagree, but I'm just as glad she didn't choose to come to Nebraska )

[redsteve]

Missed shots, turnovers, bad defense when it counted.  Their zone hurts us.

[Merlin]

Lots of seniors on the Iowa team and a lot of minutes by 5 players. Depth will be an issue as the season moves forward. Would have been nice to get this one but onward ladies!

I agree.  Saw her in a game earlier this year and it looked like she had a little tiff with Bluder.  Coach said something to her and she mouthed something back and stomped away while Bluder was still talking to her and it appeared she wasn’t happy about it.  Glad she didn’t come here.

[Bugeaters1]

You mean Blunder right!!

[Bugeaters1]

So when the chips are down you don't see Simon in the game. Coach must not have much faith in her in crunch time. 

[Merlin]

Probably looking for ball handlers and defense at that point.

She hurt us with several turnovers just before she was taken out for good.  If she hasn't figured it out after 4 years here she never will.

Also am disappointed that Kissinger hasn't taken it up a notch this year.  Her pass to nobody just before half cost us 2pts. and possibly 4.  We had the ball with the last shot but the turnover let Iowa score 2pts.

that's my point about Simon. she has improved as the season has went along ,but I think coach just sees more play makers in the younger kids.

[HUD]

If Taylor doesn't start playing better it may be Leigha starting in her place.  If Leigha doesn't have an open shot after receiving the pass she creates one.  Taylor doesn't seem to have that ability.

[Bugeaters1]

Whitish had a very quite 14 points tonight. I didn't think she had that many.

[Red Don]

Final Stats:

 

Three stats that stand out to me (maybe the difference in the game):

FG%:               39 vs 49

Pts in Paint:  24 vs 43

Assists:         14 vs 21

Didn’t get to listen to the game.  I did see on live stats that at crunch time it was Hannah and the 4 Freshmen.  Looking forward to Maryland Tuesday night.
